"A technical document should not only be easy to read, it should be difficult to misunderstand."
- Ronald Standler

Technical writing training is for managers, scientists, technicians, engineers, and programmers who already have a fair grasp of English but need to improve their technical writing skills. Whether for one-on-one or small group training, this course is adjusted to the trainees' current level of skill and customized to meet your job-specific writing needs.

Our technical writing courses introduce you to some of the most important aspects of writing in the world of science, technology, and business. This is the kind of writing that scientists, nurses, doctors, computer specialists, government officials, engineers, and other such people do as a part of their regular work.

To learn how to write effectively for the world of work, you'll typically study common types of reports related to your business, special format items such as lists and headings, techniques for putting graphics into reports, advanced grammar and punctuation, and techniques for producing professional-looking final copy. You will discover that you can put what you learn in this course to immediate use.

This training is available for native and non-native English speakers alike -- anyone who feels they need to improve their technical writing skills may sign up. Each course is adjusted as best possible to trainees' needs: a fully customized syllabus is developed for every technical writing program.
